Jobs with Glasgow City Council

Social work do indeed have the most abysmal absence rates, mostly at the care homes end of things, stress from covering sick leave, sore backs lifting the old buddies etc

I'd love to see a social worker lift an old buddy. In my 6+ years working in Elderly Care, that one has eluded me.

That's why you should have stuck in at school. Nae lifting.

What I meant was, I've actually to see a social worker doing any work.

As you will see above i used the term social work department, not social workers.

There are a good few skiving social workers, just like in any profession.

getting a job with the council is easy...........

I hope you spell checked that Calton boy. If not some of your stereotypical neighbours might be wondering how you can rhyme it off without thinking.

I am reminded of my friend running a bells and buzzers quiz night. His dad asked him to do one at his own bowling club in Shettleston. It was that successful he was invited to run the knock out quiz at Carmyle Bowling Club.

Even although he spotted the floor to ceiling portrait of our current monarch he did not think to review his questions. In the tense final he reached for a starter question. "When was the last year in which we had three popes" A buzzer rang immediately and the answer given without hesitation. A hush fell on the lounge and evey eye turned to the quiz contestant who seemed to know that everyone was thinking "How did you know that? "

As he spluttered about hearing it at another quiz the Quizmaster congratulated him on scoring three points.

The team captain responed with "We don't want them!"

If the story sounds familiar it's because I advised my mate to send it in to the Herald Diary. This was the pre SMG days and a he won a bottle of whisky which he shared with his dad (not me unfortunately)


The answer was 1978 if you are interested when according to Wikepedia

Pope Paul VI was succeeded by John Paul I. He however died only thirty-three days after becoming Bishop of Rome. His death resulted in the election of Pope John Paul II, who presided until 2005.

I have a job with the council and neither of them are applicable.

I think we can all heed that advice

I find this topic really depressing as I feel that my dream of driving one of those wee council dust-buster things will be impossible!!

I applied for a job with GCC. I live IN MONCTON. M-O-N-C-T-O-N.

I received a letter saying I didn't get the position, with my town being : MONOTON.

Surprisingly, the letter did arrived at my house, in my town. Hummm .

Further to this thread, just read this report on the BBC website. GCC has been found guilty of racial discrimination against two job applicants.

Although it's there in black and white, I find it hard to believe that GCC would discriminate against anyone, except Glaswegians.

They would need to re-apply as Clarence O'Bvunzai and Kuldip O'Dhesi

I've been heavily involved in recruitment for Glasgow City Council very recently.

I can't comment on the events of 5 years ago, but I can tell you that I have found Glasgow City Council to be an incredibly unbiased employer. in fact the most unbiased I have ever worked in.

As the news report said, since the year 2000 GCC has a new Chief Executive, Leader of The Council and a new Head of Corporate HR.

Please y'all, don't judge the Council now on the events of 5 years ago!!!
